How to overcome a deadlock in Admin privilege

[Babu1983]

I created a MS access database.
I had then created a Workgroup Information File using Tools->Security->Workgroup Administrator.
I created a password for my used id('kanagab' which is same as my windows logon id) and was using the db.

The user id 'kanagab' was a member of 'Admins' Group and 'Users' group
There was another user called 'admin' which was ONLY a member of 'Users' group (This is what has mislead me .. ie., I had thought 'admin'user is a member of 'Admin' group too)

Later I wanted to remove the password for my user id 'kanagab'
But I had accidentally deleted the user 'kanagab'. Tools->Security->User Groups and Accounts->selected the usaer name 'kanagab'->Clicked 'Delete' button

So, now whenever I am opening my db, I am logged on as the user as 'admin' only and I do not have any run permissions.
I am not able to change the ownership of the db back to 'kanagab' because my current id ('admin') does not have administrator previlege.

I would really appreciate if someone help me on how to log on to my db with Admin previlege?

(More details in the document attached)

Thanks

Contrary to popular opinion, the Admin User can, and should be, removed from the Admins Group as the first step in the process to 'Secure' a Database. I hate to be negative, but from what you are telling me, you are basically stuck.

Well, log-on as admin and try to export everything.

Then, create a new database, with the appropriate users.

Finally, import everything and restore any damaged relations between tables.

I just did an experiment with Access2007.

I created a blank database.

Then I went to "External Data", and imported from an existing database.

Perhaps this will help. I don't know if you can do so on your system without Admin priv., or not.

You can 'Unsecure' a 'Secured'Databa se, but only if you are a Member of the Admins Group.
